A QUEER JAIL.

ST Post Lingg's suicide, by blow
log his brains out with illuminate
cap, has cheated justice OF one Of the
ferociousc criminals of the century.
This young man seems to have had an
abnormal thirst for Blood, that he was
able to crafty only to d Slight extent
He was raised as a terrorist. He
was acquainted with dyn mite and
the construction OF bombs before he
came to this country. On his arrival
In Chicago, he threw himself into the
Anarchists work with such zeal that,
In spite of his youth, he was chosen
for the man who was to hold the chief
secret of the conspirators. He was to
make the bombs and have them ready
when they were wanted. He did
manufacture several dozen, of which
only one was put to the use he Intend
ed 1t for. The bombs found In his
cell the other day showed that his
tiger thirst for blood was to be graft
fed once more before his death. The
fortunate discovery of the jail officials
saved many lives. =
But the fact that Lingg was able 10
explode cap in the manner he did
raises some wonder" What kind of a
jail management has Chicagos is a
pertinent question. When McGargile
escaped I'M his "bath" in his own house
1t was understood that Sheriff Matson
was closely connected with tile hood
lers and was disposed to allow every
favor TO his companions, who had been
placed in his care. The manner IN
which Lingg was able to carry out his
purpose indicates that Anarchists as
we'll as boodlers haye ''pulr' on the
Jail officials. y
] twas warning enough when the
bombs were found in Lingg's cell and
Engel's attempted suicide was dis
covered. The Sheriff knew very well
what kind of a man The was dealing
with. 1t might be difficult to guard
against poison but is unreasonable
that a cartridge cap could be concealed
from the careful search. 1t is evident
that Lingg had coifederates among
The guards ii not among the higher
officials of the Jail.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from Pro-
prietaty Medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as we'll as relieving
the burden Of home manufacturers. Espec-
tally is this the case with Green's August
Fower and Boschee's German Syrup, as the
reduction of-thirty-slx cents per dozen, has
been added to increase the size Of bottles
containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-ffth more medicine in the rs cent size.
The august FlOuer for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough
and Lung Troubles, have perhaps, the larg-
est sale of any medicines in the world. The
advantage of increased size of the bottles
will be greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted. in'every town aud village in civil
lied countries. Sample bottles for ten cents
remain the same size.

a writer in a California paper graphi-
cally describes a flow of lava in Hawaii:
AN advancing lava flow makes
considerable ado as it goes on-especi-
lily if its line of advance is through
a jungle or forest. The noise accom-
panying its movement under these
circumstances resembles the roar of
the battlefield. The ears of the per-
son who visits the scene are greeted
by the cracking of blazing foliage,
the Kissing of hot air and steam, the
falling of trees, and the bursting of
bombs, all commingled in one tumult.
fraversing a lava stream while it is
yet running may be compared to ira
versing riverin winter by walking on
the ice. A pair of thick shoes and
stockings are needed to protect them
rom the heat, as on the ice to protect
them from the cold Vent-holes, too,
will be ever anon encountered in the
solid crust covering the liquid stream,
down which the spectator can look and
behold the fiery river below; and occa-
sionally one will come across fire-falls,
which are usually seen without any
covring of solid lava over them.

Origin of Opium.

According to the Bengali legend,
there once lived on the banks of the
holy river Ganga, rishi, or sage, in
whose hut, made of palm leaves. there
was a mouse, which became Il favorite
with the seer, and was endowed by
him with the gift of speech. After
awhile the mouse having been fright
ened by = cat, at its earnest solicita-
ton was changed by the rishi into
cat; then, alarmed by dogs, into Il dog;
then into an ape, then into bear, then
into an elephant. and then. being still
discontented, into a beautiful maiden,
to whom the sage gave the name of
'Postomania," or the "poppy seed
lady,"
One day, while she was tending her
plants the king approached the rishi's
cottage, and was invited to rest and
refresh himself by Postomania, who
offered him some delicious fruit. The
king, however, struck by the girls
beauty, refused to eat until she had
told him her parentage. Postomania
to deceive the king, told him she was a
princess whom the rishi had found in
,he woods and had brought up as his
child.
The upshot was that the king mauo
love to the girl and they were married
by the holy sage. She was treated as
the favorite queen, and was very happy:
but one day while standing by well.
she turned giddy and fell iuvo the water
and died. The rishi then appeared
before the king and begged him not to
give way to consuming grief, ss tho
late queen was not of royal blood.
"She was mouse" he said, "and by
her own wish l changed her success
sively into a cat, dog, an ape,
bear, an elephant, and loving girl.
Let her body remain in the we'll; fill
up the well with earth. Out of her
flesh and bones will grow tree, which
shall be called after her, 'Posto,' that
is the poppy tree From this tree
will be obtained drug called 'opium,'
which will be swallowed or smoked till
the end Of time. The opium swallower
or smoker will have one quality of each
Of the animals to which Postomania
was transformed. He will be mis-
chievous, like a mouse; fond of milk,

NO man-"no, nor woman. neitbar

same lnscrutable order OF things weakly

pulse that moves the small bow to pull off
the wings of captured flies, to burn alive
stray cats, and to stone the windows of nm
occupied and defenseless buildings, EN-
cesslve alcoholism is suicide, and suicide
is tne only sin for which there is no re-.
Pentance. But, without reference to the
spiritual phase, if we stop to consider the
temporary effects OF alcoholism on the hu-
man system, the review must appall all
save those who have reached the STAGE
where to turn back is more dreadful theen

When you make "rail fence in your

and soon refuses properly to digest food.
The liver and kidneys give out in a similar
way, and the impairment of their functions
causes terrible dropsy. The heart becomes

Woman Suffrage and Prohibition.

The New York San turns its rays upon
the prohibition movement, and while it op-
poses prohibition it comments vigorously
upon certain phases of the question. In q
recent article, entitled "Woman Suffrage
and Prohibition, it says:
There are numerous Indications that
the prohibitionist organization will identi-
fy itself more and more with the woman
suffrage movement. In view of the active
part which women have taken in the CAM
paign against rum, this is perfectly mo-
tural, if not inevitable.
"But how will the change affect the fu-
ture of prohibition? Compared with the
question of extending the suffrage to ten
or fifteen million citizens who do not now
vote or hold public Office, the issue be-
tween license and prohibition seems of
minor importance. AS the ladies learn
their power in politics, and become ia
miliar with the methods of political agita-
ton, and as their enthusiasm for the
larger cause gains momentum, will not the
specific object for which the prohibitionist
party was organized be more and more
subordinated?
Glow long will it be before the present
organization is developed into woman
suffrage party, incidentally favoring the
prohibition of intoxicating drinks?"

The Greatest Enemy of the Colored
People.

Bishop Galloways "Hand- book of Pro-
hibition" says:
The greatest enemy to the advancement
of the colored race i'll the South is whisky.
1t is worse than illiteracy. worse than pow
erty, worse than superstition, worse than
all other ills and burdens combined. They
are to be commended for every step of
progress they have made. A few, by in
dustry and frugality. have secured COM
Portable homes, and show laudable nmbi-
ton to educate their children. But q large
proportion are as poor to-day as at the
hour of their emancipation. This is
chiefly attributable to the robbery of mean
whisky. Much of their hard earnings is
tilched from them by low drinking houses.
Their account books with these stores re-
veal story of sorrow, and a prophecy of
greater and ever increasing evil. If these
people could be saved from intemperance
If their little means could all be wisely
expended in providing for themselves
comfortable clothing, wholesome food, and
habitaIle homes instead of pauperism we
would see thrift and content. Worse q
thousand times than any slavery they ever
knew is the Calling, debasing servitude OF
Incorporate habits. Every blow against
whisky, there orc. is a blow i'll favor Of the
negro emancipation and elevation.
But on TINS vote tne liquor men rely io-
success. They detiantly charge that with
few bottles of whisky the whole monkey
vote can De purchased Such. however,
has not been the history of this people.
All their church councils have made clear
and strong declarations on the question.
and some colored pastors administer rigid
discipline against members signing liquor
petitions. In several counties OF the State
Where elections have been held a maiority.
of the colored people voted in favor of
prohibition. Their leading men are elo-
auent and able advocates of repressive
laws against the baneful traffic. Thus they
are repelling the SANDER against their race,
and rising to the dignity of intelligent citl-
zenship. Every true friend OF the negro
is an enemy to the liquor-traftic.
